Re:  Canada
Scott Pector mentions that the US dollar is strong now in Canada.
True, but be advised that some necessities (i.e. food and gas) are MUCH
more expensive there than in the U.S.  For example, gas is about 52 cents/
liter, which equates to over $2.00(US)/US gallon.  Food in restaurants
tends to be much more than here, and the tax on restaurant meals and
lodgings is 10% which wipes out half of your dollar exchange.
